Must be a very easy team for a youngster to come in to. For what it's worth I don't think Foden will make the grade long term at City; next tier down for me, he's no better than Wilshere was for example. Despite what Guardiola says I think they'll make a major signing to replace David Silva.
I was a little unsure, but the last few games I’ve seen him he really seems to have stepped it up and matured a lot almost over night. A growth spurt so to speak!
Some of his passing is Pereira / Fernandez esq, and of the type very few English midfielders seem to have in their locker. He’s also looking much more of a goal threat.
Wiltshire was a metronome of a player, he wasn’t a real attacking threat (8 league career goals), Foden looks to be much more dangerous so it’s hard to compare them.
Big year for Foden next year. A top player in that position needs to 20 goals / assists and I think he may just do that.
